Me and friend are looking into buying DS lites mainly for the homebrew stuffs we can do with them. And since I've been away for over a year, I know almost nothing about whats going on in the current scene. So I looked through the site (mainly reviews and guides) and tried to figure out what I need.
If I got it right, then I need:
- A DS (duh)
- A passcard
- A gba flashcart
Is this correct?
If so after looking at the reviews, I like the Passwe 3 and plan to get that unless someone has some very good reason not to.
But where I'm stumped is the GBA cart. I went through the reviews and didn't find any that seemed to stand out. So I'm asking for recommendations for what cart to use.
I would prefer a SD cart (as I already have SD cards), but I'm willing to go with a MiniSD cart if they are particularly better than the SD carts since MiniSD cards are cheap(er) now.
Also a couple of questions that we came up with:
- If I load a wireless game, such as Mario Kart, with the passcard, will I be able to play wirelessly? (My friend and co-worker wants to be able to play Mario Kart between the 2 of us on our lunch breaks and such).
- Are there any differences in speed between a SD cart, MiniSD, or cart with its own storage? Specifically, differences that effect a game's speed.
- Is there anything else (besides type of storage) that might affect the performance?
- Are there any good solid emulators to run the DS? (for emulating NES, SNES, etc)
